Take their cell phone.


Limit computer use to homework only.


Ground them.





It's hard to give a punishment without know what the crime was.





If no one was, or could have been hurt in the process, just talk to them about what was done and why it was inappropriate.

The older they are the bigger the punishment. A 16 year old knows the rules better than an 8 year old. I think it's more disrespectful to let them get away with it when they're older. It insults their intelligence to suggest that they didn't know any better.
Well, you give them the respect that they have earned.





I don't believe it's ';disrespecting'; someone to treat them like a ten year old if that's the way they act. It goes both ways.

Sit them down and talk with them about what they did wrong, and why.
